王汝涛:雅思每周一答(9月15日)

【问12】《环球雅思口语》(王陆编著)第46页有这样一段经作者改正后的学生答案如下:
When I was 7 years old, my teacher asked me: what kind of people will you be in future?” I said: “I want to be a manager one day.’ ( 用词错误,该考生简单地把汉语意思直译为英文,应用some day代替 one day)。I feel so proud to be a female and I eager (用词错误,eager是形容词,应为I am eager to) to be a successful woman. Being a manager may satisfy my hope, which can organize people to devote to some career. I like reading books, especially the books concerning administration. To fulfill my dream, my father communicates with a well-known university, and plans to send me abroad to learn MBA.
请问为one day和 some day有何不同?What kind of people 是否应改为What kind of person才正确?
答:one day 和 some day 可以互换,在这里都是正确的。请参阅LONGMAN DICTIONARY OF CONTEMPORARY ENGLISH (第四版)day词条的解释。What kind of people 应为what kind of person语法更为准确。但根据这段话的意思,用在这里仍不合适,因为 what kind of person 多指询问人的性格,品行等,并非职业。此外in future 指从今以后,这里应改为:in the future. 还有其它几处也是不规范的英语,明显受中文的影响,请对比我改后的段落:
When I was 7 years old, my teacher asked me: what will you do as a career in the future?” I said: “I want to be a manager one day.’ I feel so proud to be a female and I am eager to be a successful woman. To become a manager can meet my expectations because I would like to bring people together to do a good job. I like reading books, especially the books about administration. To fulfill my dream, my father has communicated with a well-known university and he hopes to send me abroad to study for an MBA degree.
